The Albany Virgo is a two-door coupe appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1 update.
The car previously appeared in the 3D Universe where it also assumed the design of a full-size coupe. The Virgo co-exists alongside the now-named Virgo Classic, which was previously named "Virgo" in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Influence[]
The Virgo's general body style is inspired by the eight generation Cadillac Eldorado, with the front grille and headlights resembling a 1967 Chrysler Newport and the rear resembling a 1968 Newport, with available modifications adding a very pronounced rear mounted spare tire and rear wheel arch covers and some design cues from early 1970s Cadillac Eldorado models. The Virgo happens to resemble the Esperanto from the 3D Universe GTA games.
Design[]
The Virgo assumes a similar build to that of its previous iterations, but takes on an entirely different design inspired by late 1960s large American coupes. The vehicle's profile is both boxy and slim, with notable features including its inset rear brake lights, large hood bulge spanning the length of the hood, and its twin headlight setup.
The Virgo's door, hood, and trunk functionality are typical, with no optional parts to change how they open. The vehicle also does not feature exterior extras of any kind that are not applied within mod shops.
The Virgo uses the "Dominator" interior type seen in similar vehicles like the Manana and the Chino. The interior is largely typical otherwise, with no extra interior parts available.
The primary color of the Greenwood is applied to the entire body and the interior stitching, with no secondary options available. If the "Bumper Mounted Spare Wheel" customization option is selected, the primary color will be applied to the outer wheel color. The stock rims are unique, consisting of a flat dish with seven rectangular open sections around the center. If the car is purchased from Legendary Motorsport, it will be supplied with a set of custom "FiftyNine" sport wheels pictured within the site instead of the stock wheels. The stock ones can still be reinstated at Los Santos Customs.
Performance[]
The Virgo has improved speed and handling compared to its Classic counterpart, although its performance is rather lacking in its class. The engine feels large and powerful, but is held back by the very heavy body. While a fair bit slower than other muscle cars, the Virgo does not produce understeer when tackling sharp corners and can be easily recovered when it begins to drift. The same heavy steel construction that slows it down gives it excellent durability, and the braking power is good for an old, heavy muscle car. Despite the website description saying it has the handling of "a shipping container on shopping car wheels", the Virgo has very good, if not one of the best, handling profiles for the muscle class.
The Virgo can be heard with a loud rattling similar to the Rat-Truck, notable at high speed. It sounds to be a problem with the mesh on manual gearboxes, where the mesh gears are not lining up correctly, a common problem on late 60's and early 70's cars with manual transmission.
The Virgo is stated to be powered by a 327cui (5.3 liter) V8 capable of pushing 360HP. The engine sticks true to its stated configuration, sporting a V8 engine coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive configuration. Said website also claims it has rather low acceleration - 0-60 mph in 9.9 seconds, and a top speed of 125 mph. The first person speedometers seem so to surpass these statements, with a faster acceleration rate of 6.5 seconds and a top speed of around 95 mph. If the turbo upgrade is installed on the Virgo, it will feature a unique turbocharger sound.
